Is Nintendo eShop Available in Indonesia? Not at Switch 2 Launch
Switch 2 launches in Indonesia on 10 December for Rp 9,999,000, but Nintendo says the eShop won't be ready at launch. What that means for Switch Online.
Not yet, and not on day one. Nintendo is launching the Switch and Switch 2 officially in Indonesia on 10 December, but its announcement says the Nintendo eShop "is not scheduled to be available at launch" (our translation from Indonesian), with more information to come later. Here's what Nintendo has confirmed as of 13 November, and what it hasn't.
Is the Nintendo eShop available in Indonesia?
No. There is no Indonesian Nintendo eShop today, and Nintendo says there won't be one when the consoles go on sale. Its 14 September announcement on the Indonesian Nintendo site ends with a note that the eShop isn't scheduled for the launch and that details will be shared later. Nintendo hasn't given a date since.
When does the Switch 2 launch in Indonesia?
On 10 December 2026, together with the original Switch. Nintendo Singapore runs the launch, and the consoles are sold through the Salim Group, Nintendo's official partner in Indonesia. Nintendo's suggested retail prices:
- Nintendo Switch 2: Rp 9,999,000
- Nintendo Switch: Rp 4,229,000
- Nintendo Switch with Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! (physical copy): Rp 4,450,000
Which games will be available at launch?
Nintendo published a launch list of first-party games. For Switch 2, it includes Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, Mario Tennis Fever, Pokémon Pokopia, Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, the Switch 2 Editions of both Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom and Pokémon Legends: Z-A, and the Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake. The Switch list includes Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Super Mario Odyssey and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Nintendo says games from other publishers are scheduled too.
Nintendo doesn't spell it out, but with no eShop at launch, the official way to buy these games in Indonesia will be physical copies from retailers.
Is Nintendo Switch Online available in Indonesia?
Not announced. Nintendo's announcement doesn't mention Switch Online at all. Elsewhere in Southeast Asia, Nintendo has launched Switch Online together with the eShop, and when it announced the Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand stores, it described the eShop as the place to buy games, downloadable content and Switch Online memberships. So without an Indonesian eShop, there's no official Indonesian way to subscribe yet. That matters because Switch Online is what unlocks online play, the Nintendo Classics library and Save Data Cloud backups.
How long did other countries wait for the eShop?
The eShop and Switch Online opened in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand on 18 November 2025. When Nintendo announced that in October 2025, it said it was also working on the Philippines, and the Philippine eShop and Switch Online opened on 10 November 2026, about a year later. Nintendo hasn't given Indonesia a timeline, so treat that as context rather than a forecast.
Can I keep using my Nintendo Account from another country?
Nintendo hasn't said anything about existing accounts in Indonesia, and we don't cover workarounds. The eShop you see follows the country set on your Nintendo Account. Nintendo's support pages say you can't change that country while you have an unspent eShop balance, active automatic renewals or pending pre-orders, and that child accounts (15 and under) can't be changed on their own. If you already buy from another region's store, wait for Nintendo's Indonesian eShop details before changing anything.
What other official options do Indonesian players have?
PlayStation sells PS Plus in rupiah, and Xbox sells PC Game Pass there, as we covered in our Game Pass Indonesia guide. For Nintendo, the official route from 10 December is the console plus physical games, with the eShop to follow at a date Nintendo hasn't announced. We'll update this page when it does.
